Note: If you have problem when run setup quickstart (maybe 500 error). Because the files and folders in your server are having wrong permission. We should change permission for them. Try to use ssh commands:

chmod -R 0777 pub var app/etc

chmod -R 0777 pub var app/etc
chmod -R 0755 index.php setup/
